Yes, I am hoping they place order for A95s quickly.

If I am not wrong 854 had 2 S2xx duties downgraded from bendies to 0405s (TIB981B and TIB982Z out, replaced by TIB602X and TIB749G) after WLDEP took partial duty control, now looks like A22 take over after 0405s in for scrap.
Whereas for TIB1019Z and TIB975U, they are hardly seen on 854 and random bendies (sometimes A22s or worse still 0405s) from WLDEP take over the slot everyday.
Hopefully when new temp Yishun int opens, these are the slots that are potential DDs for 854.
LTA has kept 29 BSEP DDs SP and around 20 of them are reserved for Yishun Interchange services... around 6 are reserved for 67/960...

There is still E500s going on..Best is when they win Bulim too then we can see the orders of A95s as well A24s coming in.

OT abit:
Speaking of MAN A95, there is a leak from Hong Kong's KMB staff about a list of new bus-purchase/project list... If the list is indeed correct, KMB will also receive a A95 demo which is currently under assembly in Gemilang...
Also, in their recent additional purchase of 209 E500s, the last 2 units will be Euro 6 demos...

Not sure if SMB1479G is perm 854 or not, yesterday was on 854. Today spotted SMB1386R on the other S2xx slot around SMB45G timing.
1479G was perm 856 in sgwiki

Heard Euro 6 E500 only produce 330hp/1500nm down 10 hp from current..SMRT better fast buy the production A95s..Since MAN can custom made A95 why MB still keep mum?They can also produce tri axles 12m DD for Asian markets with their OM470 10700cc 350hp/1700nm mah

TIB1022M is spotted on 854 earlier this week though.
Apart from all these, I have not seen TIB1148J and TIB1149G on 854 lately too. I wonder if these 2 are down for refurbishment...
1022M 1149G on 854 today...
Guess the bendies are all still perm. Just that piority is given to feeders, only when feeders hv enough bendies then they will do 854

Wldep screw up 854...instead of adding more bendies they downgrade to single deckers..last time 854 was good enough,every 2 single decks there is bound a bendy in between.Now screw up everything..while 25 got nearly all DDs,854 screw up..Wonder why Darn SMRT dun wanna move Amdep to a bigger and DD friendly one..Their location is very strategic.If Amdep gets 550 capacity depot,Yishun and Sembawang as well as Eastern and CBD can be under them,Woodlands can concentrate Woodlands and Bukit Panjang/CCK and Bulim control Bt Batok,Western areas
Well, when WLDEP took over partial duties for 854 early last year, these were the buses that followed 854 over to WLDEP - 530U 578H 736T 755M 975U 982Z 995L 996J 1019Z 1020T 1022M. For Sun/PH, WLDEP arrangement is 822C and 827P replace 2 full day bendies.
995L and 996J not long later went back to AMDEP and did 969. And if I remembered correctly 981B and another box bendy took over, then 1111P.
When SMRT start to deregister 849B onwards, WLDEP took 981B and 982Z out from 854 and downgraded to 602X and 749G.
Now it also seems that 975U and 1019Z hardly appear on 854 too, 2 random bendies are spotted instead. Not sure what is the perm status for these 2 though.
If I am not wrong 995L should be back on AMDEP 854 s-shift. But unable to confirm which bendy is out though (suspect 1021R and 1148J out).

The AM KUBs are for sv 80A. I believe there are 7 buses on 80A ~ not sure if all 7 are SDs... but majority are. They are timed 05 mins after DD departs at Sengkang Interchange in AM to take care of leftover.
These 7 KUBs do the full route in PM though, sometimes not able to manage loading at Aljunied/Geylang east central/paya lebar areas.
Another point, I have noted is huge rush for sv 80/87 outside HG Interchange stop. While observing loading on 72/101, invariably also saw, sv 80/87 buses were getting 30-40 pax boarding at this stop. Didn't quite expect that.

I think you should observe the buses you mentioned here for a longer time instead of posting here when you see it one day on another service... Not trying to be mean, but I also learnt from here to be more observant first before posting when posting here.

developments arent particularly surprising at the very least, unless the said A95 is an Euro 6 demonstrator.
however, that mentioned, there is little demand for Euro 6 RHD DDs even as we speak. all could change after 2016 though, so lets wait ;)
